[Yum] traceback encountered

[Troy Dawson]

Howdy,
This traceback might be a problem on the machine's end, and not yum.  I just 
need a little pointing in the right direction.

The problem is on a 7.3 machine, with rpm 4.0.4, python 1.5.2-38, and as far 
as I can tell, pretty much like any other machine.  It is a laptop, if that 
has anthing to do with anything.  Here is the traceback

# yum update
Gathering package information from servers
Getting headers from: Fermi Linux 73rolling main
Getting headers from: Fermi Linux 73rolling updates
Finding updated packages
Downloading needed headers
Resolving dependencies
Traceback (innermost last):
   File "/usr/sbin/yum", line 24, in ?
     yummain.main(sys.argv[1:])
   File "yummain.py", line 201, in main
   File "nevral.py", line 219, in resolvedeps
   File "nevral.py", line 69, in getHeader
   File "clientStuff.py", line 167, in readHeader
   File "/usr/lib/python1.5/gzip.py", line 150, in read
     self._read(readsize)
   File "/usr/lib/python1.5/gzip.py", line 201, in _read
     uncompress = self.decompress.flush()
zlib.error: Error -5 while decompressing
#
# rpm -q yum rpm rpm-python gzip
yum-0.9.2-1f5
rpm-4.0.4-7x.18
rpm-python-4.0.4-7x.18
gzip-1.3.3-1
# rpm -V yum rpm-python gzip
#
# rpm -q python
python-1.5.2-38
# rpm -V python
#

Any idea's where to start looking to fix this?
